A once in a lifetime opportunity awaits two Manchester City fans from India - and it could be you!

GOAL, in association with Manchester City and TECNO, brings to you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to know City stars from close range.

City have been in dominant form in the Premier League, claiming a memorable 4-1 win over Manchester United in our most recent domestic outing ahead of Monday’s trip to Crystal Palace.

Pep Guardiola‘s men are giving enough reasons to celebrate for City fans with their performances on the pitch, and GOAL once again brings a dream opportunity for the Cityzens in India to get close to the superstars.

After a resounding success in the first season, GOAL in association with the club and TECNO returns for the second year that would see two aspiring football journalists from India cover City from close quarters.

The two selected winners would come on board as GOAL’s trainee Manchester City correspondents and will create content about the Club.

The selected aspiring journalist will receive mentorship from GOAL’s editorial team. They will also receive the chance to conduct interviews, shoot videos and write reports about Manchester City games.

Sai Prashanth Nataraj, who was 2021 GOAL India’s Trainee Manchester City Correspondent, shares his delightful experience of working on the project last year.

“From talking to Man City legends Shaun Goater and Richard Dunne to interviewing current first team star Aymeric Laporte - these were truly some once in a lifetime moments.

I got to learn a lot from working with and being mentored by the editorial team at GOAL. A massive shoutout to GOAL, Manchester City and TECNO for pulling this together,” he said.

Nataraj’s Nigerian counterpart, Chukwu Bethel Harmless, echoed his thoughts.

“It was an amazing training campaign and a wonderful experience working with professionals from the sports journalism field. The training sessions taught me a lot.

“This campaign helped me to grow as a person and as a team player. Thank you, Manchester City, thank you TECNO for being part of the realisation of my dreams,” he stated.
